Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Serendipity version 1.1.3

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to bypass password protection. This is achieved by modifying the password being checked through a certain request, which delivers custom entryproperties settings to the Serendipity Frontend.

Recommendations For Serendipity version 1.1.3, consider disabling the entryproperties plugin as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the serendipity event entryproperties.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the password modification request in the affected plugin until the issue is resolved.
